Science Experiments for Preschoolers

Confession - I have a growing obsession/addiction to
Pinterest. I waste spend time there almost every day. A few weeks ago I
came across a pin of a science experiment for preschoolers. The pin lead to only a picture,
which is my biggest Pinterest pet peeve. Why are you pinning a picture of a science
experiment without linking it to the directions? Ugh!

But I could see some basic directions in the picture and
since I'm fairly smart, I got it all figured out. I put some vinegar in my
muffin tins and added some food coloring. I choose the muffin tins instead of
cups since my kids are notorious for spilling their cups. Next I poured some
baking soda into baking pans. I gave the kiddies some pipettes to drop the
colored vinegar into the baking soda.

And the result was over an hour of entertainment for my
kids. It was awesome! They sat at the table and played quietly together. That’s
every mom’s dream right? They loved looking at the baking soda bubble up. And
Isabella was thrilled to see her "mountains" change colors. I loved
this science experiment so much that we did it again when my six year old niece
was here. She loved it too, so clearly it's not just for preschoolers.

Mark said oooooo everytime he dropped the vinegar into the baking soda.
